Spending your next family day out or weekend at Alton Towers? Well, there’s plenty of excitement, adventure and family fun to be had here. Whether you put a brave face on and face The Smiler or Th13teen or head to the coven with The Wicker Man. The bigger rollercoasters at the attraction, but have you ever thought of heading to Hex Alton Towers? Hex – The Legend of the Towers?
Well…now is the time!
Hex The Experience
Set in the heart of The Towers section of the park, you’ll find a ride experience like no other… Dark, spooky, unexpected and all set to make you jump out of your skin! Are you ready for it?
Based on a local legend that has stood the test of times. There is a curse that has fallen over the old oak tree and has turned the area into a haunted house that is truly unique and unusual to the theme park. This dark ride experience has you on your toes, hiding behind your eyes ready to shield yourself from the unexpected jump scares coming your way, as you journey deep into the Towers.
It’s not your typical rollercoaster where you’re strapped into a cart, zooming on a track like the other major thrill rides. The Hex is a walkthrough experience and an immersive ride, with multi-sensory interactiveness. Which leads you past a creepy tree and through the foreboding and unsettling tower, where you may unearth a legend. You’ll be met by a beggar woman who has cast a curse on the Earl of Shrewsbury that has befallen the Towers for centuries.
While you’re feeling unnerved a story so dark and mysterious will be foretold, unusual activity will be afoot and you will have to unlock a hidden vault that has been closed for nearly 2 centuries. Spooky… Will you be able to keep sane as the room starts to spin? Or will you become disorientated and not know what’s going on?
An incredible multimedia experience and a brilliant ride that will have you gasping, screaming and begging to ride again. There’s also a surprise at the end…will you make it till the very last ride?
